Twenty-First+Caluri++6

=__Amendment 21__ Repeal of Prohibition=

This amendment allows drugs, and acts involving, drugs to be used in legal habitats (in private). It cancels out Amendment 18: outlawing drugs in private and public places. Amendment 21 was created because the chaos towards trying to outlaw drinking (in public and in private) was getting out of hand. People were selling alcohol, drugs, etc. and drinking in their own homes. The police had to go in every house accused of having drugs. It was too hard to keep up with; so it was decided that Amendment 21 would be created, canceling out Amendment 18, and allowing drugs and drinking (as well as being drunk) only in private.

See Current Event Here//-//[|Repeal of Prohibition? Not here] By //Sarah// In this article, two towns stayed clean of liquor to this day (since the late 19th century), even after Prohibition was repealed. The towns are Eastford and Bridgewater, Connecticut. You may drink there, but you may not sell or buy liquor there. At town meetings, this subject is brought up 'periodically'. Maureen Warner (who has lived in Bridgewater for 40 years) says that even if there was a liquor store, people in the town wouldn't buy from it or even go in to it because they wouldn't want others to know they were drinking. That is why she thinks the town is against the sale of liquor for now.

Eastford is a town that wants to protect their children from alcohol.



See Current Event Here- [|Alcohol Prohibition Was a Failure] //By Samantha//
 * Current Event Article Review:**

My article is about why Rrohibition was a failure. The author Mark Thornton had a very strong opinion about Prohibition. He believes that since Prohibition became legal, crime ratings have highly increased. There is evidence that proves his theory to be right. I also agree with the author for many reasons. I think that once Prohibition came into effect, people took advantage of it. It states that at the beginning of Prohibition, crime level increased and alcohol became more dangerous. Many people went to jail for crimes involving alcohol. It also led people to more illegal things like marijuana, patent medicines, cocaine, and other dangerous substances. Based on what was stated in the article, the 18th Amendment failed to do its job and lead to the creation of the 21st Amendment.
